What To Do If You Meet A Military Convoy
Frequent military convoys move on open highways with space to pass if safety rules are followed. Do not pass on hills or curves and the passing driver is responsible for safe clearance. In cities the column may be closed up and may pass stop lights with police escort. When overtaken pull over to the sidewalk side as with an ambulance. Slow at intersections where Army vehicles move slowly and ensure no other vehicles are coming before proceeding on green. Cooperation from motorists aids military and civil traffic and reduces civilian disruption.
